<h1>Setup</h1>
<h2 class="subtitle"></h2>

<p>
<strong>Welcome!</strong>
</p>

<p>
If you'd like to follow along with the videos, the steps below will
walk you through getting everything installed and configured.
</p>

<h3>1. Install Elixir</h3>

<h4>Mac OS X</h4>
<p>
The easiest way to install Elixir on Mac OS X is via
<a href="http://brew.sh/" target="_blank">Homebrew</a>:
</p>
<pre>$ brew update
$ brew install erlang
$ brew install elixir</pre>
<p></p>

<h4>Windows</h4>

<p>
  The easiest way to install Elixir on Windows is by
  downloading and running the 
  <a href="https://repo.hex.pm/elixir-websetup.exe" target="_blank">web installer</a>.
</p>

<h4>Linux</h4>
<p>
  Up-to-date instructions for installing Elixir using a variety of package managers is available at <a href="http://elixir-lang.org/install.html" target="_blank">http://elixir-lang.org/install.html</a>.
</p>

<h3>2. Verify the Installation</h3>
<p>
  Once the installation is complete, confirm that you have <strong>Elixir 1.5</strong> or higher installed by running:
</p>

<pre>elixir --version</pre>

<!--
<p>
 The example code included in this course is based on <strong>Elixir 1.5</strong>, so any version that starts with <strong>1.5</strong> should work.
</p>
-->

<p>
For reference during the course, go ahead and bookmark the <a target="_blank" href="https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/">Elixir Documentation</a>.
</p>

<h3>3. Download the Code Bundle</h3>

<p>
Before starting the course, make sure to <a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/pragmaticstudio/courses/elixir/pragstudio-elixir-code.zip">download the course code bundle</a>.
After unzipping it you'll end up with a directory called <code>pragstudio-elixir-code</code>. Inside that directory you'll find the following subdirectories:
</p>

<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>video-code</code>: snapshots of the application code as it stands after each course video, so you can review and compare to your own code
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>prepared-files</code>: files we've prepared for you to copy into the project as needed to save tedious typing.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>finished-project</code>: the final version of the application we build throughout this course
</p>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>4. Configure a Text Editor</h3>

<p>
We recommend configuring your text editor of choice to use an Elixir syntax highlighting plugin. For example:
</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p>
    In the videos we use Sublime Text with the <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir-tmbundle">elixir-tmbundle</a> plugin.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
    For Atom, install the <a target="_blank" href="https://atom.io/packages/language-elixir">language-elixir</a> package.
    </p>
  </li>
  <li>
    <p>
    For VS Code, you might try <a target="_blank" href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mjmcloug.vscode-elixir">vscode-elixir</a>.
    </p>
  </li>
</ul>

<h3>Up Next...</h3>

<p>
When you hit the big green button below, you'll go directly to the next video in the course where we'll start building our Elixir application. Feel free to code along with us in the video if you like, and don't be shy about pausing or rewinding to watch something again. After each video you'll find any relevant notes in the aptly-named "Notes" section.
</p>

<p>
Let's get started!
